ttention shoppers: Huge cleanup ahead of grocery-buying habits in Aisle 2021. h After a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, shopping for food in America has transformed. h Before the pandemic set in, grocery shopping was already in the midst of changing. You could pick up your own, have someone shop for you, have groceries delivered, have whole meals delivered, all from your local store. h Then came the virus and its demands and we adopted new strategies in order to buy food more safely. American supermarkets raced to meet the surging consumer demand amid the crisis. Even as the country plunged into a sharp, pandemic-induced recession, grocery stores saw a nearly $62 billion infusion of food dollars thrown into cash registers. That's an astonishing 9% jump in total sales during the last nine months of 2020 from the same period in the year before – in an industry that battles for incremental gains. Many shoppers started ordering groceries online but busy supermarkets never closed – deemed "essential businesses" from the start of the pandemic. How big was e-commerce for supermarkets? Kroger reported last week its digital business more than doubled in 2020 to $10 billion. The nation's largest supermarket chain's digital channel, serving orders for delivery or pickup, itself is large enough to be a Fortune 500 company, bigger than several tech companies on that list. Kroger's e-commerce business is about as big as that of eBay or Nvidia. Its sales top Intuit, Xerox or Lyft and are gaining on Adobe, Uber and Wayfair. Walmart and other grocery rivals have off ered less detail of their own fastgrowing online eff orts, but have disclosed robust growth. Last month, Walmart said its e-commerce sales grew 69% in the fourth quarter.

The merging of the Cincinnati and Dayton metropolitan areas could be coming sooner than we think. Home builders associations in Cincinnati and Dayton are both planning Homearamas in Warren County neighborhoods, though they will occur in diff erent years. In 2022, Loveland’s ChimneyRidge subdivision off Butterworth Road will be featured by the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati. The enclave of 30 homes priced $750,000 and above will be developed on 26 wooded acres in the Warren County portion of Loveland within the boundaries of the Little Miami School District. This year, Lebanon’s Union Villiage off Ohio-741 will be featured by the Home Builders Association of Dayton. It will be the fi rst single-site Dayton Homearama since 2012. Union Village is a 1,230-acre master-planned community based on “new urbanism,” which includes principles such as walkability, sustainability and quality of life, offi cials said. The community features a 200-acre greenway system of meadows, woodland parks and pathways connecting to Armco Park and the Warren County Sports Park. Offi cials said 13 homes completed or under construction in the neighborhood and open houses are available. The 2021 Cincinnati Homarama is being held in Anderson Township.

6th Circuit upholds conviction of Newtown CEO Doug Evans to report to prison in April Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A federal appeals court has upheld the conviction of the CEO of a Newtown company who prosecutors said directed a scheme to win contracts intended for minority-owned businesses. Doug Evans is scheduled to report next month to a federal prison and begin serving a 21-month sentence, offi cials said. At a 2018 trial in federal court in Cincinnati, Evans and his company, Evans Landscaping, were convicted of multiple conspiracy and wire fraud charges. He was sentenced in January 2020 to the prison term, and the company was ordered to pay half a million dollars. In an opinion fi led March 18, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affi rmed the convictions. Prosecutors said Evans helped create a front company – called Ergon Site Construction LLC – so he could fraudulently obtain $2 million in demolition jobs from the city of Cincinnati and another $11 million in contracts from the

state. An African-American computer consultant for Evans Landscaping was given “nominal” ownership of Ergon, prosecutors said, although Evans, who is white, controlled it. The scheme was known by the company’s management team and overseen by Evans, according to prosecutors. Evans’ appeal partly focused on issues with the jury instructions given at the conclusion of the trial. The 6th Cir-
cuit, however, said it wasn’t clear that those instructions were problematic enough to have produced a grave miscarriage of justice. The 6th Circuit also said the evidence was overwhelming: Evans was personally involved in all aspects of Ergon’s operations, from approving logos and business cards to authorizing minor expenses. “He was everywhere,” the opinion says. “It was his word that put the
Shopping Safe to say, as we start to come out of the pandemic, the table that was set in early 2020 looks a lot diff erent only a year later. If last year the big question for shoppers was ‘How do I shop safely?,’ this year it’s ‘How much of my adapted behavior will I keep?’

Shoppers like Nellie Haverkos, a 43year-old full-time mom from Symmes Township, still push a cart through the aisles at Kroger in Madeira, but in the last year has cut the number of visits in half. She tries to load up on items she knows she'll need for the week. She cooks more at home after her family cut back their previous two or three meals out a week down to one take-out meal a week. “My habits have defi nitely changed. Now, I try to be thoughtful… so fewer trips,” Haverkos said. Another big change is the supermarket is no longer a family aff air. In the last year, her kids haven't set foot in a store to limit their potential exposure to the virus. “They miss their Kroger. They used to ask to come for their birthday. They miss all their friends,” Haverkos said. (Before, her 3-year-old especially liked to roam the aisles and catch up with people, like Elaine, the associate she learned owns her very own parrot.) Yeah, she wants to go back to what it was. Still, grocers are bracing for their business to slow and even shrink. It'll be hard to keep up those sales levels once

more shoppers are vaccinated and feel safer to venture back into restaurants again. Kroger forecast a key sales measure – identical store sales without fuel – would decline 3 to 5%. Walmart, which is less reliant on just groceries, said the same fi gure would see growth slow to low single digits. Kroger, Walmart and others are under pressure by Wall Street not just to grow their e-commerce businesses, but to wring profi ts out of them. So far, they are labor-intensive (expensive) channels that require extra work from associates who have to handpick items from shelves to fulfi ll orders. Shopper Jack Klette, a 60-year-old project manager for a logistics company, was inspecting vegetables at Roth Produce at Findlay Market. "I would say my wife and I are just coming back," he said. He says they're both more comfortable venturing out. But this past year Klette and his wife cut way back on grocery visits and other unnecessary trips outside the home. The couple has relied heavily on Kroger's Pickup (curbside or parking lot) service for the last year. Did the pandemic make e-commerce a permanent service for customers? Kroger, for one, is betting on it. This spring, Kroger is expected to automate more of its home deliveries with a series of robotic warehouses set to open. The fi rst one in Monroe quietly fi lled its fi rst order last week, company offi cials said, off ering few other details. Also in Greater Cincinnati, Kroger is testing a pickup-only format at a closed store in Mt. Carmel – the only one in the nation. But grocery executives caution e-commerce isn't the only thing in the offi ng. In fact, both Walmart and Kroger compared the momentum to a "fl ywheel" where both online and in-store growth stimulates demand for each other. In its latest quarter, Kroger noted identical store sales grew 10.6% – with its digital channel driving 5.5% of that. That means the traditional stores are continuing to generate robust sales. (Think about it: Kroger's total annual sales just hit $132.5 billion. If total sales increased $10.2 billion with about $5 billion from digital, then the other $5

billion of sales growth came from brickand-mortar operations. So there's plenty of shoppers in the stores too.) Prior to COVID-19, Kroger said its stores served about 11 million shoppers every day. Since then, customers have cut back visits but loaded up their carts when they do shop.
E-commerce here to stay With an eye toward improving instore experiences, Kroger is testing other new technologies. Some of those include initiatives that would reduce human contact for people who want to avoid face-to-face interactions. One pilot project in Dallas is a store without traditional checkout lanes, but only self-service scanning checkout. Another pilot being tested in Madeira is new smart cart technology, called Kro-Go, that allows shoppers to put items in their cart, tally as they go, bag, pay, and leave the store – skipping the checkout line. "What we fi nd is, by far the majority
of our customers that move online, they still physically go into our stores," Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen told Wall Street analysts last week. "So it's incredibly important for us to create a seamless experience to where customers can bounce back and forth." And maybe the pandemic has prompted some shoppers to try smaller stores. Laura Domet, a 45-year-old school counselor, wanted to avoid crowds after growing wary of big box stores during the early days of the pandemic. “I thought that’s the last place I want to be,” she said. Since last year, the Linwood resident buys most of her household staples online but gets her vegetables and coff ee from local shops. “So many small businesses were struggling and I heard all the big stores were doing more business than ever and I thought, if people don’t start supporting them they might not be there when we’re out of this,” she said. That habit could stick.

A Place To
be you Mount Notre Dame
is Cincinnati’s oldest all-female Catholic high school, founded in 1860 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, and is part of the worldwide Notre Dame Learning Community. MND provides a college preparatory learning environment with an average class size of 19 students. Led by its talented faculty, each student is challenged through a broad selection of engaging classes, including 26 Honors and 20 Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Instruction is enhanced through collegiate-style Block Scheduling and a One-to-One Tablet PC Program that supports a variety of learning styles. MND graduates are prepared for the journey that lies ahead.
www.mndhs.org
My Action Plan (MAP) is a signature Empowerment Program developed by Mount Notre Dame and is driven by our mission “to educate and empower young women to learn, live, lead and serve”. This four-year program allows students to participate in experiences that develop and challenge them in the areas of academic, student and spiritual development. The program also includes goal-setting and academic planning with guidance from faculty and school counselors. The freshmen focus on the theme of Learning and are welcomed into the community through the support of a one-on-one staff guide to aid in their transition to high school at MND. The sophomore MAP theme of Living with Principles is woven into cross-curricular projects in the students’ Social Studies, English and Religion courses. To explore the theme of Leadership, juniors participate in a variety of activities such as a book discussion, strength assessment, film study, a leadership panel of local women leaders and optional conferences. At the end of their junior year, students write an individual Capstone Project Proposal that they will work on during their senior year as they live out the theme of Service. The Capstone Project provides students with real-world communication, problem solving, event planning, organization and budgeting, and many other life skills. Each student presents her project to a panel of adults and completes her senior year with an application for commencement where she shares how she has grown in the Characteristics of an MND Empowered Young Woman during her four years at Mount Notre Dame. This marks the completion of their MAP journey. You can find out more about the MAP program and more of the outstanding academic, spiritual and student development opportunities available to students by visiting our website at www. mndhs.org.

Notre Dame Academy For well over a century Notre Dame Academy students have been ignited with a passion for learning. Through the culture of innovation at NDA, they have become critical and creative thinkers, effective communicators and skillful collaborators. Today’s students at Notre Dame Academy are the innovators of tomorrow. At NDA, this culture of innovation is not a trend or a buzz phrase but rather a critical component of a Notre Dame Academy education established by the Sisters of Notre Dame. Well over a century ago, the Sisters were visionaries and innovators themselves. At a time when women didn’t even have the right to vote, the Sisters of Notre Dame realized the importance of educating young women. Inspired by the Sisters of Notre Dame, the community of Notre Dame Academy continues to respond to the needs of the times. This past year has put NDA to the test as the school adapted to the continuously evolving coronavirus pandemic. Embracing the innovative spirit of the Sisters of Notre Dame, NDA administrators, faculty, staff and students were diligent and open-minded as they answered the call to take on the challenges COVID-19 presented to the educational experience. The school community worked hard to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and as a result, NDA students have had the opportunity to experience in-person learning during nearly 90% of the school year. While many schools have experienced an achievement gap due to the disruption of COVID-19, Notre Dame Academy students have stayed on track.
Do you know a young woman who is ready to make a difference in the world?

Empowering Students at Seton: Faith, Academic Excellence, Leadership and Service In the tradition of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and through the mission of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Seton High School develops a diverse population of young women for a life of faith, service and leadership, and engages them in achieving academic excellence in a college preparatory environment. The mission and values of Seton High School, strong academics and a true sense of spirit and sisterhood are why thousands of young women have chosen to become Seton Saints. Faith Our strong Catholic faith is intertwined in every aspect of the school. From daily morning prayers, school-wide liturgies, retreats and extracurricular activities, faith formation is the most important part of the Seton experience. Teachers and staff are committed to educating the whole student, and we are proud to have an environment where our students can be empowered by their faith. Building a strong faith foundation is imperative for molding the strong, dedicated women of this world. Academic Excellence Seton is proud to offer an exceptional academic program that will challenge students to excel both in and out of the classroom. Outside of our highly competitive Honors Program, students are placed in either Honors or College Preparatory classes. They are immersed in a technology-rich environment that prepares them for life beyond high school. Every student participates in ACT Test Prep as a part of their regular studies. Students have the opportunity to choose from 13 Advanced Placement courses (AP), eight of which are offered for early college credit through the University of Cincinnati and the College Credit Plus Program on our very own campus. These courses are taught using the college curriculum that students would receive on a college campus, allowing students to earn over 60 college credits upon graduation. With a flexible, modified block schedule, not only do students take challenging academic courses, but every student has additional opportunities to grow as leaders and members of the Seton community. Students take part in leadership formation, speaker series, House Government activities and community service experiences.

Leadership All students are expected to take a leadership role in this school – big or small. What’s more is that they exceed expectations each year! “Students can be leaders in the classroom, on a sports field, in extracurricular clubs and activities, on stage and in their communities,” says Seton High School President Kathy Allen Ciarla. “Seton Saints graduate with skills, confidence and moral grounding to lead the way onto their chosen colleges and career paths. With 12 fine arts programs, 12 varsity sports and more than 30 extracurricular activities, there is no shortage in growth opportunities.” Seton High School is proud to have embraced a House Government System. Here students are divided into four groups, or Houses, that have approximately the same number of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Within each house, students are a part of mentor groups that develop relationships between students and further foster spirit and sisterhood. Additionally, the houses work together to develop faith, academic, leadership and service opportunities to compete for the Charity Cup, which is awarded to the house that receives the most points throughout the year. Service Whether it is far away or as close as here in Price Hill, Seton students understand the impact they can make by living a life of service. Students and alumnae are known for their willingness to give back to their communities. There is an emphasis that everyone should live as Christ did – serving and caring for others with various needs throughout this world. Students develop empathy and understanding through several service opportunities spent in many places, including parishes, non-profit organizations and on mission trips. Shine at Seton Through their four years at Seton, students find that the supportive culture from administration, teachers and staff empowers them to be critical thinkers and leaders. There is a genuine sense of sisterhood and pride. Students discover their strengths, use and develop their unique gifts and talents and shine at Seton! Seton High School is located at 3901 Glenway Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45205.

Teaching in the times of COVID-19 – New challenges and opportunities at Roger Bacon This year has been an adventure—students and teachers have had to be flexible and patient with new frustrations in the wake of COVID-19. However, working through challenges, troubleshooting tech problems, and—most importantly—facing it all together, presents rich opportunities for students to prepare for an everchanging world. Inside the classrooms at Roger Bacon, students and teachers are doing many familiar activities in new ways. One or two students may be plugged into iPads, linking remote students with the physical classroom. In another class, everyone might be “Zooming” with a teacher at home. Students work in Zoom breakout rooms, analyzing short stories and solving math problems, instead of clustered around a poster board. We are all learning to rethink how we communicate and learn. All this adapting can be exhausting at times, but the fact that it allows us to keep our students inperson at school is gratifying. Seeing students in our classrooms and walking through our halls on a daily basis reminds us all—this hard work is worth it. We look forward to the day when we do not have to speak through masks. It will feel great to no longer troubleshoot audio issues with Zoom, or watch students sit separated by Plexiglas at lunch. However, if we spend our days wanting to quickly get through this time so everything can “just get back to normal,” we would miss a tremendous opportunity to be grateful for the gift of this time, the blessing of walking this journey—or riding this roller coaster—with our students.

Saint Ursula Academy Educating Young Women with Faith, Integrity, and Courage Saint Ursula Academy in East Walnut Hills has set an exceptional standard for excellence in Catholic education since 1910. The result of the whole-person approach is a foundation of academic excellence, confidence, creative thinking, faith, and compassion for self and others that spans a lifetime. The welcoming school community works together to empower young women to develop academically, spiritually, and socially with faith, integrity, and courage. “The high school years are four of the most critical in terms of growth, learning, and making choices that impact the future,” said Saint Ursula Academy principal Dr. Mari Thomas. “We believe working with students on their spiritual and social-emotional skills in addition to their academic and problem-solving skills helps prepare them for anything life throws their way after they graduate from Saint Ursula.” A key advantage is the single-sex environment, where every leadership position in the school is held by a girl. Whatever the role, it helps each young woman become more experienced and comfortable in the role of leadership, and confident she belongs there. “Every student leaves a better version of herself than when she came in,” shared Dr. Thomas. Saint Ursula graduates are critical thinkers, confident leaders, nurturers of themselves and others, and prophets who inspire others to make a difference through their choices, words, and actions. Each student learns to be a confident women; someone who is a difference maker. To learn more, visit www.saintursula.org
Transforming Young Women At Saint Ursula Academy, girls... Develop Leadership Skills Tackle Challenging Academics Build Self Confidence Set High Personal Goals Transform into Women Committed to Building a Better World Saint Ursula Academy is a dynamic, Catholic, educational community that promotes academic excellence and honors the uniqueness of each person while transforming girls into young women of faith, integrity and courage.

Are you hearing more airport noise (or less)? This is why Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A runway rehab project will mean more airport noise for some residents. The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport recently shut down runway 9/27. That’s the airport’s longest and most-used runway, and it will be out of commission for roughly six months. The 9/27 runway travels east to west, is used heavily during the night and is critical for air cargo operations at CVG. During the $69 million renovation, aircraft operations will move to other runways, according to a news release. That means air traffi c to the east and west of the airport will likely decrease, while traffi c to the north and south will increase. The rehab will consist of new asphalt, concrete and lighting. The project actually began in fall of 2020, but the runway was not closed
until recently. Normally, such a project would take two years, according to the news release, but CVG worked with the Federal Aviation Administration and cargo carriers to compress the timeline into one year, with the runway closed for only six months. The FAA is also paying for 75% of the project. “We are grateful for the support and patience of the community and all partners involved as this important infrastructure update is completed,” said CVG CEO Candace McGraw, in the release. “This project among others will position CVG well for pandemic recovery and future growth.” Information on CVG’s website says communities to the north and south of the airport may notice increased noise overnight, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. People with noise complaints can call 859-767-7020 or fi ll out the online form on CVG’s website.

Women Lead Medicine students went inside the operating room at Mercy Hospital West, where they learned about careers in anesthesiology. Mercy McAuley High School’s Women Lead Honors Program, a unique experiential learning program, exposes young women to careers in medicine, engineering, law, technology and business. Through a specific curriculum, monthly seminars, discussions, hands-on activities, job shadows, field trips and volunteer opportunities, the program offers students hands-on opportunities for career exploration and academic achievement. During the freshman year, students in the program learn about all five of the focus areas. At the end of freshman year, students are given the option to select from one or more of the focus areas and continue in that area for their remaining three years. Many of the experiences take place off campus, where they learn directly from experts in the fields, many of whom are alumnae. While several experiences this past year have been virtual due to the pandemic, the school looks forward to returning to offsite activities soon.
“The Women Lead Honors Program has helped me select nursing as the field I want to go into,” said Sydney Etris, a senior at Mercy McAuley. “My favorite experience was when we visited Jewish Hospital, where we learned about some of the equipment that nurses use, and we even practiced putting an IV on a mannequin.” Students in the Women Lead Honors Program are awarded a “leg up” with competitive colleges and universities and graduate with significant advantages in becoming leaders within these careers.

What’s prom going to look like for the class of 2021? Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
At Seton High School, senior Paige Schultz says preprom excitement is already in full swing. Girls lug dresses across school hallways to trade with their friends, tanning appointments are being scheduled and the two most crucial questions of the season echo across campus: “Who are you asking?” “Do you like this dress?” There’s more than a glimmer of hope in Paige’s voice. She remembers this time last year, watching her class of 2020 friends miss out on their last two months of high school: the father-daughter dance, the senior awards ceremony, prom. But now, things are starting to feel almost normal. “I still can’t believe it,” Paige says. “And now I have so much to think about and get ready for, and I’m just very excited for the next two months.” Seton, a parochial all-girls school in East Price Hill, ushered its senior students into the auditorium for an announcement the week after Gov. Mike DeWine lifted a 300-person capacity limit for banquet halls and catering facilities. The March 2 health order means dancing is again allowed at weddings, proms and other events in Ohio, as long as all other COVID-19 safety guidelines are followed. “People will be able to plan for prom, they’ll be able to plan for graduation,” DeWine said during a Feb. 25 coronavirus briefi ng. “There’s no reason these events can’t occur as long as they follow safety protocols.” During the Seton assembly, which was broadcast to the rest of the school in a livestream, principal Karen White tried to break the news but was interrupted by about a dozen faculty members in ‘80s style prom dresses. Seton president Kathy Allen Ciarla said they danced to a verse of the “Cha Cha Slide” before announcing each grade level would get their own dance this spring, with separate junior and senior proms at the Music Hall Ballroom in Over-the-Rhine. “As I looked out, all these girls in their masks, you could see them smiling under their masks and tears... and I got choked up,” Ciarla said. “These girls have missed out on so much, and they were so excited.”
To be determined: The details of a safe prom Many area schools are limiting their proms to seniors only, or, like Seton, holding separate dances for diff erent grade levels in order to meet state health protocols. Others, like Wyoming High School, are planning outdoor proms. St. Ursula Academy in East Walnut Hills is planning separate junior and senior proms in diff erent locations on the same date, district spokesperson Jill Cahill said. Betsy Fuller with Lakota Local Schools says both Lakota East and Lakota West proms will be seniors-only,

with no outside guests allowed. Kings High School in Deerfi eld Township is hosting a seniors-only dinner and dance at the Manor House in Mason on April 17, community relations coordinator Dawn Gould said. William Mason High School also announced an April prom at the Manor House. “We are exploring how to allow dancing in a safe way,” Mason City Schools spokesperson Tracey Carson told The Enquirer. Fran Russ with Cincinnati Public Schools says CPS students will get outdoor proms, too. Each high school principal is working to fi nalize plans. Springboro Schools communications coordinator Scott Marshall says the Warren County district is looking into “some type of social event” that will meet state and county guidelines. Other Cincinnati-area schools say they are waiting for further guidance from the governor before they make any offi cial prom plans. But the governor’s offi ce has approved proms, DeWine’s press secretary Dan Tierney confi rmed to The Enquirer. Separate “guidance documents” are being fi nalized, though it’s not clear when those will be released. Some traditional venues for local proms, like Xavier University’s ballrooms and the Cincinnati Art Museum, are not planning to host any proms this year. There aren’t any proms booked at the Newport Aquarium or the Taft Museum of Art either. BB Riverboats chief fi nancial offi cer Ben Bernstein told The Enquirer his company is hosting some proms this year, but “certainly not as many” as years past.
Cody Hefner, senior director of marketing and communications at the Cincinnati Museum Center, says some schools are looking to have their proms at Cincinnati Union Terminal and potentially the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, but nothing is confi rmed yet. “With DeWine just recently updating protocols everyone is wrapping their heads around them and acting accordingly,” Hefner said in an email. In general, many Cincinnati-area schools say they will have a prom, though details are yet to be determined a month out from when the season typically begins. While school administrators scramble to pin down dates and locations, some students are getting a jump start on their own planning rituals.
‘The floodgates opened’ at local dress shops Paige, 17, has a dress already, the one she bought “for cheap” at Dillard’s with her mom for junior year prom. The one she never got a chance to wear. Now, she’s itching for a new one. See PROM, Page 10A

Prom
March is typically when students start visiting tuxedo shops for prom. Lexi Ford, assistant manager at Men’s Wearhouse at the Eastgate Mall, says some students have started to trickle in for tux rentals though “signifi cantly less than previous years.” Dave Brogan, owner of Brogan-Hesketh Formal Wear in West Price Hill, says it’s because many schools are hosting senior-only proms this year to allow for proper social distancing. “We’re not getting the full classes that we normally get,” Brogan said. “And a lot of (the seniors) don’t go to the prom. But after missing out on last year, I’m hoping that they will probably go this year.”
Continued from Page 9A
“If this is going to be my only prom then I want to, you know, really love it,” she said. Bridal and Formal general manager Tina Minshall could sense teenagers’ hopefulness in the weeks leading up to DeWine’s announcement. They started coming into the store to look at dresses, though they “weren’t quite buying yet,” she said. “And then as soon as (DeWine) made that announcement, it was like the fl oodgates opened,” Minshall said. Typically, promgoers start shopping in December and sales start to ramp up at the end of January, Minshall said. This year she didn’t see anyone look at prom dresses until early February, but things have taken off in the last few weeks. With hybrid learning, some customers have been able to come in during the day, so it’s been easier to space people out. On a Friday afternoon at Kotsovos Bridal Furs & Prom in Montgomery, Oak Hills High School junior Alesia Brockhoff is in between two prom dresses: one with a strappy back and vine patterned front, the other with sparkles. Her mother, Jena, says Alesia tried on about 20 dresses before narrowing them down to the fi nal two. Standing on a platform in front of a trifold mirror, Alesia groans and looks up at the ceiling. “This is so diffi cult,” she says. But for the most part, she’s smiling. She just found out a week earlier that there would be a seniors-only prom, and since her date is a senior, she’s allowed to go. High schoolers should be in love with their prom dresses, said Victoria Kotsovos. She and her husband have owned Kotsovos Bridal Furs & Prom for more than 40 years. “I think that (students) are putting more into the dress this year because they didn’t go last year. So they want that special dress, you know? They want the special memories that they didn’t get last year,” Kotsovos said. She said the store is booked up for the next three weeks with prom-dress shopping appointments. They’re doing a raffl e for customers this year and giving away free photoshoots with a professional photographer, just to make

things “extra special.” Little girls come into the store all the time, Kotsovos said, to look at the pretty dresses. Her customers have often dreamt about prom night for years before it’s their chance to go. “There’s so many issues going on
with girls of that age and they don’t feel good about themselves,” Kotsovos said. “And that’s really important for me, whether they’re a size 0 or they’re a size 24, to make them feel good about themselves and to have a really special experience.”
Ellie Minick, Mason High School’s class of 2021 student body president, had planned to go to prom last year. She bought a dress and everything, she said, calling prom “a rite of passage.” That would-be prom day last spring, Ellie put on her dress and took pictures on her front porch. It was disappointing, she said. Junior prom was the fi rst of many social events to be stripped from her due to COVID-19; in the fall, she and her peers missed out on football games and homecoming activities. Mason High School administrators began sending out surveys to students and families in January, trying to get a head start on planning prom and graduation for about 860 graduating seniors. The overwhelming response, Carson said, was that students wanted to “come together” at the end of this school year, in person. “We’re so proud of (the seniors),” Carson said. “They have really displayed all the kind of perseverance and fl exibility and adaptability and even optimism in a time where that is hard.” Prom and after-prom activities will be in-person this year, but Carson said things will look diff erent due to COVID-19 safety protocols. Students will wear masks; seats will be spaced out to allow for social distancing, just as they are during the school day. But that’s okay, Ellie says. The senior class will take any “little bit of normalcy” they can get. “All you need is a little bit of hope,” Ellie said. “And I know that everyone is looking forward to, you know, living out the rest of their high school kind of in a normal way.”

Asparagus tart: ‘A stunner that belies how easy it is to make’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
Yesterday was fun, a productive day. Son Jason brought two of his boys over to help with spring chores. The guys got the chimney and gutters cleaned, and paver brick walls reset. Me? Well, I got the tiller going and tilled the big garden. So satisfying! The asparagus bed needed a bit of tilling and dressing, too. It won’t be long before asparagus pops up. I can imagine how those pretty, green stalks are eager to burst through soil, blessing us with an abundance of this super healthy vegetable. With Easter just a few days away, and spring having just sprung, my thought is that it’s a good day to share, you guessed it, asparagus recipes. Sensational sides for an Easter or spring meal. Try these recipes, then let me know what you think.
Asparagus tart A stunner that belies how easy it is to make. Ingredients 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen (see tip) 8 oz. Gruyere, Emmentaler, Swiss or Fontina cheese, shredded 1 nice bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed (keep for soup) Olive oil Seasoned salt and pepper or salt and pepper Romano or Parmesan cheese, shredded, for garnish Instructions Preheat oven to 400. Sprinkle a bit of fl our on counter, then unroll pastry. Sprinkle a bit of fl our on top – not too much. Roll into 16x10 rectangle. Place on parchment lined baking pan.
Asparagus tart. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER
Lightly score pastry with sharp knife 1” in from edges. This marks the rectangle and will allow edges to puff up. Poke center with fork all over to prevent big air bubbles. Bake just until golden, about 12-15 minutes. Fill evenly with cheese. Trim asparagus to fi t crosswise into shell in single layer. Alternate ends and tips. That way everybody gets both. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with seasoning. Bake until asparagus is tender but not mushy and pastry is nice golden brown, 12 to 20 minutes. Garnish with Romano, cut into squares. Adapted from Elizabeth K., a Mason reader’s recipe. Tip: Use gentle hand with puff pastry Thaw frozen pastry, wrapped, in refrigerator overnight, or counter, wrapped, about 30 minutes. Careful when unrolling. Pastry tends to stick to itself.
Simple roasted asparagus with lemon pepper and herbs Family favorite! Ingredients Asparagus, tough ends trimmed (keep for soup)
Olive oil Lemon pepper Herbs of choice Cheese of choice (opt) Instructions Preheat oven to 425. Lay asparagus on sprayed baking sheet in single layer. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with lemon pepper Bake until crisp tender and bright green. Time depends upon thickness but check after 7 minutes or so. Sprinkle with herbs and cheese and serve. Not a fan of roasting? Blanch it! Cook asparagus in salted boiling water just until bright green and crisp tender. Check from 2 minutes on depending upon thickness. Immediately plunge spears into ice water to stop cooking, drain well and dress with seasonings. Dublin coddle a hit! So many fun comments, including editor Stephen Wilder’s. He used Polish sausage and left potatoes unpeeled. “ We were in a hurry. How necessary is that in most cases?” It depends on thickness of the skin and recipe itself. Usually thin skinned potatoes like red, Yukon, etc. are OK left unpeeled.

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Greater Cincinnati is now home to more than a dozen “Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area” districts and with the newest one opening at The Banks, we decided to round them up for you. A “Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area” or Dora district is exactly what it sounds like - a spot where people can grab a drink from a local establishment and walk around. Typically these are centered around downtown areas and are aimed toward getting more foot traffi c to local businesses. They’re also coronavirus restriction- and spring weather-friendly. All Dora districts require visitors to purchase a beverage in a cup from a local business; you can’t bring your own cup nor can you bring your own alcohol.
PRITCHETT/ENQUIRER
Looking for a spot to sip out side? Here’s where to go: The Banks - The newest Dora district opened March 25. It means you’ll be able to walk around 85 acres of Downtown Cincinnati with a drink in hand. The Dora stretches from the Heritage Bank Center (formerly US Bank Arena) to Paul Brown Stadium and from Mehring Way to Second Street. Bellevue: The Bellevue Entertainment District located along Fairfi eld avenue allows people to drink on the sidewalks and between businesses. The district is on Fairfi eld Avenue between O’Fallon Avenue and Riviera Drive. Cheviot: Covers a few blocks around Harrison Avenue, including Glenmore Ave, North Bend Road. You can stop by Public House, Keller’s Cheviot Cafe and Legend’s Bar and Venue and a handful of other bars. Hamilton: Encompassing 195 acres, the Hamilton Dora includes the central business district, the German Village Historic District and historic Main Street Business District in Hamilton, which is the seat of Butler County. You can stop by Municipal Brew House and take a stroll. Harrison: The Harrison Dora is located in historic downtown includes 1860 Taproom & Bottleshop, Heist + Co., The Coff ee Peddlar, Market Street Grille and Harrison Moose Lodge 2633. Liberty Center: The Liberty Center Dora is bounded by Liberty Way, Taylor Street, and Warehouse Row. Drinks can be purchased at Brio, Agave & Rye, Northstar Café, Pies & Pints and more. Lebanon: This Dora encompasses a large portion of the Central Business District including businesses along Mulberry and Broadway. You can snag a drink from the Golden Lamb and other nearby businesses. Mason: The Mason Dora spans from Dawson Street (near Wildfl ower Café ) to 4th Avenue throughout Downtown Mason. The city’s website said 11 locations are included in the district, including Common Beer Company and Two Cities Pizza. Middletown: If you’re looking for a waterfront Dora, head to Middletown. Its Dora runs from the Great Miami riverfront to Clark Street in downtown Middletown. It includes the Forest Hills Country Club, West Central Wine and Rolling Mill Brewing Company. In Middletown you also need to purchase a Dora bracelet. Milford: This Dora gets you up close and personal with the Little Miami River. The DORA runs along Main Street between Copper Blue at 900 Main St. and the Little Miami Brewing Co. at 208 Mill St. Parts of Lila Avenue and Mill and Water streets — plus all of Riverside Park on Water Street – also are in the Dora. Montgomery: Montgomery’s Dora hits the highlights around the Heritage

Folks are planting vegetables for spring Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, The pay lakes are open. Cedar Lake is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sherry’s Lake is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m. if the weather is OK. They have trout and channel catfi sh in the lake. I imagine the big catfi sh just lay there with their big mouth open and the trout swim in. I don’t know if that really happens, but I always said that. In roaming around Bethel, I saw the fl owers starting to bloom, especially the Easter lilies. I noticed that folks are planting vegetables for spring. Bill said his radishes are starting to grow along with his lettuce. There is nothing like fresh items to eat so get your items planted so you can have fresh vegetables to eat.
We had a Grange meeting and for the program it was show and tell. Several of the Grangers had items. One had a picture album of folks that have long ago gone on to be with the Lord. There were several diff erent items. It was good to see those pictures. I was talking to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton and he said there were several folks going fi shing and they are catching crappie, channel catfi sh, sauger, bluegills and bass. Now the crappie and bluegill are my favorite fi sh to eat. The crappie are starting to school up so they can spawn. They are catching them in the lake from 2 feet down to 6 feet. The lake is close to winter pool and the temperature is 50°. By April 1 they will bring the lake up to summer pool. People are starting to camp and fi sh. Now for you birdwatchers – go to the Afton side of the lake or to the side where the saddle dam is and look for the Eagles. I was told a fellow that lives on Macedonia Road saw two eagles sitting
in a tree. He was told by some lady that they saw three young eagles fl ying with a couple eagles and imagine that it was the mom and dad. Well folks, it is spring-time and time to be planning and planting items in your garden. You can get tomato plants from Grant’s Greenhouse. As I have written about before, use the walls of water to put around the tomato plants and you can expect ripe tomatoes in June. I have written about using old tractor tires to garden in. Take a sharp knife and some water to dip the knife in and cut the outside rim out and tap it down in the tire. Then put wood chips in the bottom and then put good soil in to fi ll to the top. You might sprinkle some lime over the top and water good. Then set your plants in the tire. You can plant tomatoes, green beans, onions, radishes and others. This depends on how many tires you get. You can use truck tires the same way. Now is the time to be planting these items.
If you have a nice bed to plant lettuce in and if you have a nice place to stir the ground up, plant some sunfl owers. The birds really enjoy the sunfl ower seeds and it is great to watch them get the seeds and twist the seed around in their beak before swallowing the seed. If you plant cucumbers put up a trellis so the plant can climb and it is easier to pick the cucumbers. Now remember, if you are using wood chips, don’t use any that came from treated wood only trees. Mrs. Margene Pride’s daughter brought me a lot of history of the Old Bethel Church and names of veterans buried there. I sure appreciate this history. There was also information that showed the name of John Collins being the preacher that started the old church. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all ... More later ...

During the month of March, The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is inviting the public to stretch their generosity, to support local restaurants and businesses and to expand programs for children and adults with disabilities. And to do it all at half price. The Rotary Club will double donations of gift cards that will become part of the silent auction items for the Rotary’s 10th annual Believe 2 Achieve auction and summer party to be held on Aug. 7 at Brain Brew Distillery in Newtown. For each gift card donated in March, the Rotary Club of Cincinnati will purchase an identical gift card in the same amount, up to $100, doubling the support for the business and increasing the value of the Believe 2 Achieve auction baskets. The Rotary will provide up to $15,000 in matching funds, said Linda Muth, executive director of the Rotary Club. The program is part of the “Save Local” campaign launched this month by the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) to fi nd new ways to support local businesses that are struggling during the pandemic. Gift card purchases are being welcomed by local business owners and their staff . “We’ve been really hurting during the pandemic,” said Cathy Pape, cashier at Hathaway’s Diner in downtown Cincinnati. “We might see $150 - $250 a day. It’s been hard,” Pape said. “No one’s staying in the hotels. There are no conventions. We live off the conventions,” she said. Hathaway’s Diner is part of Cincinnati history. The downtown luncheonette opened in 1956 and is known for its all-day breakfasts, cheeseburgers, homemade soups, comfort food lunches and layer cakes. The gift card project is designed to help all local businesses, said Carl Kappes III, president of the Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati and co-chair of this year’s Believe 2 Achieve event. Kappes’s gift card donations include the interior design and art studio Art Resource Team (ART) in Wyoming that can enliven commercial and private spaces with original art. “It’s a win-win-win,” said Brett Lebhar, president of The Rotary Club of Cincinnati, which holds the annual Believe 2 Achieve event in conjunction with its charitable arm, The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati. “The pandemic has kept everyone home for the past year,” said Lebhar. “That has hurt a lot of businesses. We anticipate a safer world ahead, where people will want to go to restaurants and patronize businesses. With one donation, you can help assure your favorite restaurant or business will still be there and also help assure a stronger fu-
ture for children and adults with disabilities.” And The Rotary will double your donation. “Rotary does all the work for the fund raiser, but all the money goes to three charities serving people with disabilities,” said Lebhar, of Anderson Township. Benefi ciaries are Stepping Stones Camp Allyn, The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati and Visionaries + Voices, which helps artists with disabilities fi nd their voices and their place in the community. Since it was launched in 2012, Believe 2 Achieve has raised more than $1 million to support programs for children and adults with disabilities. The silent auction is the centerpiece of the fundraiser, with donated items ranging from vacations and artwork to sports memorabilia and specialty baskets that include lots of gift cards. To donate a gift card, purchase a card and send it to The Rotary Club of Cincinnati, 411 Vine St., Suite 4192, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202. Include your name, phone number, email and card amount, and the name and phone number of the restaurant or business. The Rotary will contact the business and purchase another card of the same value. Donors also can send a contribution and the Rotary will double it and make card purchases. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1910 as a service and networking organization with a mission to provide selfl ess service in the community and the world and to meet needs of children with physical and social needs. With close to 300 members, it is the largest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati. The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati is its philanthropic arm.

allows us to explore the feasibility of using paid parking as an eff ective and effi cient strategy to manage parking in the downtown area.” Free single-space parking spots along West Loveland Avenue, Broadway Street, Harrison Avenue, Railroad Avenue and Karl Brown Way will be converted to paid spots for the recommended fee of $1 per hour. Drivers may pay for spots at kiosks located in the City Hall parking lot or via the ParkMobile smartphone app. “The popularity of Downtown Loveland and growth in the Loveland area has increased traffi c and parking issues,” commented Loveland Police Chief Sean Rahe. “The city has studied and implemented several techniques to help alleviate the congestion and ensure the roads are fl owing as effi ciently as possible. Many cities use paid parking to change driver behavior and encourage turnover in their existing parking spaces.” A key feature of the pilot program is the mobile app. With the app, drivers will have access to services such as digital payment, advance registration, expiration reminders, and re-reserving capabilities. ParkMobile charges each user a $0.35 fee to use the app.
“The app has the capability to send you a reminder when your parking spot is due to expire. Let’s say you are sitting at a restaurant enjoying a meal. You’ll get a notifi cation on your phone and can conveniently add more time,” explained Kennedy. During the pilot, City of Loveland Public Works employees will service the system, and Loveland Police will enforce the parking restrictions. Then, each department will submit its observations and data, along with IPS and ParkMobile, for the city to evaluate the program’s eff ectiveness. ParkMobile and IPS hardware are widely used in many urban areas throughout the United States. The City of Cincinnati, City of Columbus, City of Louisville and City of Lexington, as well as the Northern Kentucky International Airport, use this technology. Once the pilot program ends and data is evaluated, city staff expects to make a recommendation to City Council in June. Residents and visitors can provide feedback on the program to City Hall at (513) 683-0150 or by email to Mandy Lucas at mlucas@lovelandoh.gov.

SCHOOL NEWS McNicholas Rockets fi ght against childhood cancer
NRHS Jr Ellie Arkus’ artwork advances in state competition
McNicholas High School students teamed up with CancerFree KIDS the week of March 6 to fundraise for and spread awareness about childhood cancer. As part of the Night for the Fight (NFTF) event, 65 McNicholas students raised over $15,000. McNicholas senior Claire Crawford, who served on the NFTF Executive Board for this city-wide event, said, “McNick has taught me and my peers that selfl essness, compassion, and empathy play such an important role in our lives, and we want to take what we have learned here and make an impact on other people. We said ‘yes’ to fi ghting for kids with cancer because we have realized that we’re here on earth for a purpose – to help others.” As a member of the NFTF Executive Board, Crawford led the leadership teams in planning the Night for the Fight events. Specifi cally, she led the fundraising committee that provided resources and came up with fun challenges and incentives to help students raise as much money as possible. CancerFree KIDS’ Night for the Fight is an annual event that typically culminates in an in-person, 12-hour event at the Cintas Center. Due to the pandemic, the ninth annual event went virtual this year, featuring an interactive Fight Week scavenger hunt and a livestream event on Saturday, March 13. The livestream celebrated the NFTF students’ fundraising success and honored kids who have battled childhood cancer. McNicholas junior Lauren Keith and sophomores Carly Weidenbacher, Shelby Highfi eld, and Carly Badylak served as members of the leadership team who helped plan the Fight Week and livestream events. McNicholas held a “covid-safe” watch party for the livestream event and added games like cup stacking, heads or tails, and scooter racing. They watched the hour-long livestream, which included a recap of Fight Week; they were touched by the personal story of a senior from Hamilton High School who was recently diagnosed Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and they spent time in refl ection in front of the memory wall they created. During Fight Week, students com-
The Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition Competition is once again underway and includes a piece of art created by New Richmond High School junior Ellie Arkus. Her colored pencil drawing titled “Carnival Floor” was selected out of over 900 submissions from the Southwest Ohio Region to move forward from round one, New Richmond High School art teacher Amy Hauserman said. “This is a fantastic accomplishment. Competing with students from Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont, Brown, Clinton, Highland, and Adams Counties, her drawing was one of only 145 works to move forward from our region,” she said. Carnival Floor is a colored pencil rendering based on a theme as part of an assignment in Mrs. Hauserman’s Advanced Art class. Students were assigned to create eight artworks concentrating on one specifi c theme. The font Sweet Mia served as the playful inspiration for Carnival Floor. For Ellie, the font inspired visions of a carnival-like atmosphere complete with candies and candy wrappers. While simplistic to the untrained eye, Ellie’s drawing is very complex. “This was probably one of the hardest, most detailed drawings I’ve done because of all the little pieces and getting the proportions right,” she said. “I was kind of surprised that it won because there are so many entries.” The surface textures Ellie created give the artwork depth, Mrs. Hauserman said. The items depicted look natural. In the spring of 2020, Ellie also had an artwork that won at the regional level of the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition. The artwork advanced to the statelevel competition before the show came to a screeching halt after the coronavirus pandemic hit. This year’s show is virtual and is not expected to be interrupted.

pleted in-school and outside-of-school challenges. Rockets could be seen in the halls making music videos or threepointers and in the community saying thank you to local nurses or paying it forward in a drive-thru. Crawford said, “You may have seen kids participating in NFTF running around the city last week, trying to raise money and having friendly competition with their neighboring schools.

Hard seltzer festival coming to Cincinnati Briana Rice
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Cincinnati is getting its own seltzer fest. The one-day festival, on April 17, will feature local and national brands and more than 50 diff erent fl avors and seltzers. Seltzers are being added to the lineup daily, but the festival currently has White Claw, Smirnoff Seltzer, Bud Light Seltzer, Corona Seltzer, Press Seltzer and
Natural Light Seltzer on board. The Cincy Seltzer Fest plans to be "one of the fi rst full scale festivals since the COVID pandemic began" but will still enforce social distancing. There will be designated seating areas for groups. Masks and temperature checks are required. Fowling Warehouse Cincinnati in Oakley will be hosting the event at their 47,000-square-foot warehouse at 2940 Highland Ave., Suite 230. All guests will choose from three diff erent "Seltzer Sessions" at either 11 a.m., 3 p.m. or 7 p.m. Ticket prices begin at $57.34 for two people. You can buy tickets at citybeattickets.com.
Each session will off er tastings, full-can off erings and even buckets of seltzer. Fowling – a hybrid game of bowling and football – lanes will be set up for attendees to play while they sample seltzers. Each guest will also get a free slice of LaRosa's Pizzeria. “We are excited and honored to be hosting the fi rst Seltzer Fest in Cincinnati," owner Joe Frank said in a press release. "Because of the size of our venue, we are able to host events like this and still focus on social distancing and safety all while having a unique experience with a lot of fun.”
